In order for us to be home as a family tonight, Dempsey needs to clear the methotrexate from his body. He has been making his "counts" with ease, praise God. That means he is peeing at or above what is required.
We have him taking Aloe Vera Plus, to help protect his mucous membranes (mouth/ digestive tract) from "mouth sores" which are a common side effect of this drug. Praise God that Dempsey hasn't experienced these yet and please pray that he will never know what chemo-caused mouth sores are. The Aloe Vera Plus also helps protect his liver, kidneys, bladder, and much, much more. We have him drink as much as he can, but it's never as much as I would like. Why? Because he is being given sodium bicarb through in tubies and that fills him up a bit.
Please continue to pray over him.
Pray protection over his little body.
Pray for peace while away from home.
Pray that his mind only retains the good memories from this whole journey.
Pray that he clears the methotrexate by the 48 hour mark (5pm this evening) so we can go home.
Pray that we are making lasting impressions on this floor, this hospital, all along this journey.
Pray for wisdom.
Pray for grace and mercy.
Pray for the staff (from janitors to doctors).
Pray against negative side effects of the drugs he receives.
Pray as you feel led.
